Five years have passed since React was officially released. We’ve seen lots of progress up until the latest 16.4.1 version, both internally and externally, with the release of numerous relevant libraries. Now that React has been the talk of the town, listing its good points might be boring. Still, one of the advantages I want to point is that its core concept or important APIs have remained almost the same. I believe this is the proof that the original value of React is so significant that it will never decay.

Although the core concept of React has not changed much, the method of using it has gone through quite a change. In particular, with the birth of Redux in 2015, concepts like using a single immutable store, the division between components and containers, and asynchronous processing through Redux-Thunk/Redux-Saga have been established as common patterns.
